23
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Gothic barn, near Great Mongeham, Kent. is a 23 by Haite, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows three old wooden barns huddled together on a hillside. The walls are rough, made of logs, and the roofs sag under the weight of years. One barn has a small doorway, while the others look closed up. In the foreground, a few scattered tools and a ladder lie on the ground. The artist signed the date—September 23, 1896—right on the paper, as if they were there when they drew it. The lines are quick and uneven, almost like scribbles, but they still show the texture of the wood and the shape of the land. If you like this sketchy style, look up cross-hatching next.
George Charles Haité (8 June 1855 – 31 March 1924) was an English designer, painter, illustrator and writer.
